Abstract: Disclosed is a mucosal vaccine which is characterized by comprising: (a) an AD vehicle that comprises a lipid and a synthetic peptide which comprises the amino acid sequence of KnLm (wherein n represents a number of 4-8 and m represents a number of 11-20); (b) a carboxyvinyl polymer; and (c) an antigen protein in such an amount that does not produce, by itself, mucosal immunity IgA and blood immunity IgG in such amounts that effective immune induction and protection against the infection can be achieved. The mucosal vaccine is also characterized by producing antigen-specific mucosal immunity IgA and blood immunity IgG in such amounts that effective immune induction and protection against the infection can be achieved. The mucosal vaccine has higher antibody producing ability than conventional mucosal vaccines, and is thus capable of achieving excellent effects with an extremely small amount of antigen.

Abstract: A retirement fund program managed by computer software requiring an initial fixed investment and producing an ever increasing revenue stream to a group of participant investors organized by life expectancy and grouped into an investment partnership. A financial portfolio is created from the monies invested by each investor and is used to manage high quality securities to generate income for the partnership. Periodically, the surviving members of the partnership are entitled to receive the revenue generated from the portfolio, which statistically will increase as fewer participant investors survive. The partnership can purchase term life insurance on each participant investor, so that the initial investment can be returned to the estate of a participant investor if the participant investor becomes deceased during the program. Upon termination of the program, all remaining assets will be distributed pro rata among the living participant investors of the investment partnership.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant la liaison directe renforcée au laser entre deux composants optiques qui possèdent chacun une surface de liaison, ainsi qu'un ensemble optique renforcé fabriqué à l'aide de ce procédé. Le procédé consiste tout d'abord à assembler les deux composants optiques grâce à la liaison directe de leur surface de liaison respective, ce qui permet de délimiter une jonction à liaison directe entre lesdits composants. Le procédé consiste ensuite à renforcer la jonction à liaison directe au moyen d'un joint de soudure comprenant au moins une ligne de soudure de renfort sensiblement continue qui présente une forme fermée entourant une région à liaison directe étanche. Chaque ligne de soudure est inscrite grâce à la concentration d'impulsions laser ultrabrèves sur la jonction à liaison directe, de manière à provoquer des phénomènes optiques non linéaires qui génèrent un raccord localisé entre les deux composants optiques. Avantageusement, les modes de réalisation de la présente invention concernent des ensembles optiques renforcés qui présentent des liaisons hermétiques et mécaniquement résistantes sur une grande superficie ainsi qu'une modification négligeable de leurs propriétés de transmission optique.

Title: Oilfield steam generation using untreated water
Inventor: SON KERRY VAN
IPC: E21B43/24
Filed: 2013-08-16
Abstract: Steam is generated for thermal oil recovery by delivering a produced oil-water emulsion, together with a hot hydrocarbon liquid to a flash vessel where most of the water is flashed off as steam, which can be used for injection in further thermal oil production. The liquid phase, containing oil, entrained solids and some water is passed to a separator, where a portion of the oil is removed as a sales quality product, most of the water and solids are removed as waste and the remaining oil and traces of water are recirculated to a heater and a flash vessel to provide heat for further processing. The produced water-oil emulsion may first be passed through a separator vessel which divides the emulsion into hydrocarbon liquid, gas and water streams, with hydrocarbon liquid being sent to a coalescer vessel to produce oil, the gases sent to a fuel or flare system and the water being treated as waste.

Abstract: A reciprocating apparatus for pumping pressurized fluid. The reciprocating apparatus comprises a plunger (18) disposed within a cylinder (36), wherein the plunger (18) is hollow and ported for enabling fluid within the cylinder (36) to flow into the plunger (18). The plunger (18) includes at least one outlet (70) through which fluid within the plunger (18) flows out of the plunger (18). In operation, the plunger (18) retracts to displace fluid from the hollow body (66) and into a discharge chamber, and the plunger (18) extends towards the discharge chamber to discharge the displaced fluid. As the plunger (18) alternately retracts and extends, fluid within the plunger continuously flows towards the discharge chamber.
